avo command [arguments]

avo is a tool for generating x86-64 assembly code from Go. It provides a high-level interface for writing assembly while maintaining Go's type safety and tooling support.
The tool is particularly useful for optimizing performance-critical code paths while keeping the code maintainable and testable.

generate

Generate assembly from Go code

Build and verify generated assembly

Run assembly tests

Format avo source files

Run verification checks

- Type-safe assembly generation
- Automatic register allocation
- Integration with Go toolchain
- Test infrastructure
- Documentation generation
- Instruction validation

Requires understanding of assembly concepts. Generated code is architecture-specific (x86-64 only). Manual optimization may still be needed. Not all Go features can be represented in assembly.

avo was created by Michael McLoughlin to make writing Go assembly more accessible and maintainable, first released around 2018.
